Dan's stairs (General)

Here's a pic of the famous stairs involved in The Fall. They're smaller than i thought - i'd assumed he'd bounced down a flight of stairs given he suffered serious spinal injuries, six broken ribs, and collapsed lungs in the March 2021 fall and his wife feared he would die.

Andrews: I've got a briefcase in one hand, I've got an overnight bag in the other and I walked out the front door.

The door slams behind me, I take two steps on the porch… and as I put my left foot on the step - it just slid straight off it. It's like it is in slow motion. I thought 'I am in trouble here'.

I got airborne, bang, and then the leading edge of the porch hit me square across my shoulder blades. I could hear it, and it was not a pleasant sound.

Not sure that being laden-down with bags and getting airborne is physically possible - not to say you couldn't slip & fall, even on those tiny steps, but it's something we usually manage to navigate every day without mishap . If it was an accident, it was a freak one.

Andrews: Can anyone tell me what the point of the story is? Anyone? Are you going to interview the stairs? People can go as low as they want. I'm not going there with them.

The point is: you have a long, documented history of information manipulation, so it's normal that people are suspicious. Maybe you are telling the truth - but it's a cry-wolf situation - you can't blame people for doubting you. Especially when those stairs were so small.
